NovelEnglishChapter 608: Her Heart Aches
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I’m thinking, can a person really do so much in the name of love? You gave up your eye for her, what were you thinking?”
She had to admit that Huo Chen’s devotion was so noble and touching that it even made her heart ache.
In contrast, she had never undergone anything profoundly emotional aside from that one vague experience of having her first love.
After a long while, he still did not reply to her. Wen He went back to bed and closed her eyes when she heard his low voice spoke up.
“She has gone through a lot. I have loved her for so many years and that is the only way I can help ease her troubles.”
She needed her vision to take care of her son.
He had retired from duty anyway, and it was not like he lost his sight entirely.

“Are you talking about yourself?”
“No way, I am anything but respectable!”
She dropped herself heavily on the large bed and managed to shake it a little.
“Indeed,” he agreed succinctly.
Plenty of lives had perished in her hands.
That made it even more difficult for Wen He to fall asleep that night.
She was very envious of Huo Chen’s love for Lu Zhaoyang and wondered if she would ever have the chance to experience it herself.
The next day, as the warm morning rays poured in through the window, Wen He woke up despite catching only a few hours of sleep the night before out of habit.
She stretched herself and sat up in bed when she noticed that Huo Chen was already dressed.
“Huo Chen, get me a pardon and I will get you Lu Zhaoyang, what do you say?” She rubbed her eyes and began her day by offering a deal to him.
It was the decision that she had arrived after pondering most of last night.
Huo Chen declined, however. “No. She and I can no longer be together.”
From the day little Huo Xu was born, he had given up all hope of getting her back.
“Alright, as you wish.” Wen He puffed her cheeks and decided that it was pointless to further pursue this matter.
They went downstairs together, where old Mrs Huo had already been waiting.
“Did you sleep well last night, He?” She asked kindly.
“Yes, Huo Chen took care of me.”

After that, she could not wait to move on. She put an arm around Huo Chen’s and said, “Grandma, we’re going to the office now. I will keep him company and make sure he doesn’t skip meals.”
“Alright, how nice of you!”
The old woman smiled warmly, grateful for her attention to Huo Chen.
Sitting at the same table was Xue Yuming, who grew anxious at the developments in the household. What about Yangyang?!
It seemed that she had to make a call that night to help her daughter out.
Once they were out of sight, Wen He and Huo Chen went to their own cars. When she was in the driver’s seat, Wen He phoned Huo Chen.
“I’m leaving. If your mum asks about me tonight, just tell her that I have business to attend to and that I’ll see her later.”
After a few moments of silence, she finally heard a quiet hum of acknowledgement from the other side of the call.
“Sigh, that cold attitude is the reason your first love dumped you. You asked for it.”
